Sure Thing and Variations on the Death of Trotsky

Relationships, romance, and history are explored in David Ives’ two one-act plays Sure Thing and Variations on the Death of Trotsky, through Ives’ undeniable flair for comedy and the use of a single ringing bell. Sure Thing and Variations on the Death of Trotsky are presented as part of the Prospect Theater Company’s dark night series.

The dark night series, presented on evenings when Tock Tick is dark, is a series of one act plays and solo performances by resident artists. Through this program, Prospect’s goal is to support a variety of artists while filling the theater’s dark nights with engaging programs.
